The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. At the turn of the millennium, nearly 20 percent of the state’s generating capacity was idled for maintenance. Electric Car tzero 0-60 3.6
